McLean, Va. - USA Today, the national newspaper published by Gannett (NYSE: GCI), said that it has begun including sales of e-books purchased for the Amazon (NASD: AMZN) Kindle device in its weekly Best-Selling Books List. Susan Weiss, the managing editor of USA Today's Life section, said that the decision to expand the 15-year-old rankings "reflects the new platforms consumers and readers are using to purchase books." Rankings are based on retail sales data collected each week from about 7,000 physical retail outlets in addition to books sold online. The list ranks titles regardless of genre or format.
